This workshop will provide an opportunity for artists to make sustained drawings and paintings from the model. We'll pose the model, or models if numbers permit, differently for the morning and afternoon sessions. Those wishing to make several studies will be encouraged to move around the pose while those wishing to complete a more substantial drawing or painting will have ample opportunity to do so. Anthony aims to slow down the process of observation and allow time for each person to construct accurate and meaningful observations. The day will be longer than the usual Summerleaze day, starting at 10am and finishing at 4.30pm.
Anthony Connolly trained at Goldsmith’s College. He is a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. He has work in many public and private collections including the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle, West Point Military Academy and Rhodes House and Campion Hall, both in Oxford.
He now lives with his family in Wiltshire where he also has a studio. He is an experienced teacher and he is well known here at the Summerleaze where he has been teaching for several years.
